Become a Member

The Officer Students’ Spouses’ Club welcomes you to the Naval Postgraduate School! We hope your tour to the Monterey Peninsula will be an enjoyable one. We also hope that you will consider joining the OSSC.

The OSSC provides a setting for social interaction among the members. We also act as a liaison between members and the NPS Command, while providing information, charitable assistance and support to the local and military communities. There are 3 kinds of OSSC Members:

ACTIVE MEMBERS include:

· The spouse of any active duty officer student at NPS.

· The spouse of an international student who desires to pay dues may become an active member with voting rights.

Active members will be entitled to vote when present at any OSSC general or business meeting. Active members may run for an elected office, serve as a member of the Administration, participate in all OSSC-sponsored activities, and, on request, receive the OSSC Membership Directory.

Dues for Active Members are calculated based on the amount of time the NPS Student will attend NPS. These are one-time fees!

· 1 Year (4 Quarters) $15.00

· 18 Months (6 Quarters) $20.00

· 2 or More Years (8 or More Quarters) $25.00

ASSOCIATE MEMBERS include:

· Commissioned officers attached to NPS and its tenant commands.

· Spouses of International Students (exempt from paying Associate Member dues).

· Spouses of all commissioned officers attached to NPS and its tenant commands.

· Both active duty and retired military officers’ spouses residing in the area.

· Widows/widowers of military officers residing in the area.

· Spouses of Department of Defense (GS 8 and above) students attached to NPS.

Associate members will be entitled to participate in OSSC-sponsored activities, and, on request, receive the OSSC Directory. Associate members will not vote, hold office or serve as a member of the Administration without the approval of the Executive Board. Dues are the same for Associate Members as for Active Members.
